Disabled Veterans Insurance Careers (DVIC)

"If the agents' dream comes true, disabled vets will be given the training and technology they need to work from home and insurance employers will be given access to a network of trained insurance sales and customer services reps through DVIC.

DVIC co-founders Pender and Trippe are both principals with BB&T-Oswald Trippe and Co., a leading independent insurance agency, which is based in Fort Myers, Florida.

Joining them in launching DVIC are other executives from Oswald-Trippe and people from Marsh & McLennan, Bankers Insurance, The Sullivan Group (California), Chubb, Rutherfoord, Marsh Berry, NetVU, Rough Notes Co., Knapp Consultants and Assurex, along with leaders from the military and the United Way.

While dozens of insurance companies are involved with veterans and disabled citizens in a variety of ways, Pender and Trippe believe their organization will be unique in its mission of creating meaningful employment for veterans in a virtual environment."
